Starmer repays 6k worth of gifts

[Quicksilvera]

Fair play, i and others have really dug him out the past couple of weeks.

He is obviously an MP with some morals, let’s hope this continues.

 

[Mwelolo]

I think he has been shamed into it.

If I buy a second hand motor and gift it to Starmer, can anyone knock me a receipt up for a couple of grand more than it cost me?
There's coin to be made here and I'll split the difference.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

He must have taken a suit back. :rolleyes:

 

[sherlock]

Not a chance he would have done any of this if he hadn't been found out.

This is just damage limitation now, it doesn't excuse the original behaviour.

I think it’s a step in the right direction.

And thats where the difference lies. Yes he might have been shamed into it but did Boris ever pay back any of those free holidays back or the ridiculous cost of that wall paper. Plus all the Tories caught out with cash for questions etc. I could go on but suffice to say there was no shame on the side of the boys with the blue tie.

He's an MP with morals? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Surprised you are still kicking around. Fair play to you. Apology to admin was accepted? Are you still figuring out how to play the politics, or are you still insistent on a ban? Perhaps the latter?

Can we get some of these billion pound Tory contracts which went to their mates back please?

I don't really care if the PM gets given a suit and declares it, and also not bothered if he paid the money back.

Nowt to do with morals.
There are dozens of torys who have taken backhanders, some of which were not even declared. Now the spotlight will be on them to return the dosh. Obviously a tory would rather die than give away the shiit under their fingernails, never mind real money, so we are going to see a lot of them squirming like the worms they are as they try to say why they should keep their bungs while trying to avoid identifying who gave them in the first place.

 

[TeaCider]

I'll never forgive him for accepting free Taylor Swift tickets!

 

[JackG]

I'll never forgive him for accepting free Taylor Swift tickets!

I view that as a selfless sacrifice in much the same way as having to wear a suit or watch Arsenal.

What's more important though, the gift or the gifter?

 

[Mwelolo]

What's more important though, the gift or the gifter?

Or the grifter?

 

[Andy_W]

What's more important though, the gift or the gifter?

I'm not bothered either way to be honest, as long as the gifter isn't a **** and gets something of more value in return.

You do realise the only reason anybody knows of these donations is because they were declared publicly?

 

[Redpete]

Eventually.

I see questions are now been asked of Lord Alli and his declarations.

It is suggested he may have some involvement in a company in the British Virgin Islands and may not have declared his interest correctly.

Not a good look.

You do realise you keep saying you are going to ignore me and then keep doing the opposite?

I didn’t apologise, but thanks for your interest
